  1. A new game console called the Phantom was unveiled recently. phantom website

    phantom-intro.jpg

    Here's some specs:

    Custom OS on Windows XPe kernel

    Up to 3.0 GHz processor with 256MB DDR RAM

    High-performance nVidia video card

    High-performance Intel motherboard

    Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround Sound

    100+ Gigabyte internal storage device

    Onboard RF wireless modules

    S-Video, RCA or component video and PAL connections

    10/100 baseT Ethernet

    Wireless controller

    Wireless keyboard and mouse

    Two USB ports

    Four controller ports

    12-foot port extension cable

    its different in that all games will need to be downloaded through a broadband connection.....which means NO cd/dvd's to put in.

    I've got mixed feeling about its potential though because it is not cheap....you've gotta pay for broadband + phantom's own proprietory network and its gonna be $300-400 (all other next gen systems are below 200). It does come with 50+ pre-loaded games though (names yet to be released).

  2. wow thanks guys im gonna try that out.

    but i have a questions?

    isn't this a little dangerous..i mean making ur comp a server w/o dedicated firewalls.

    Im running zonealarm...do you think that's enough?

    Also, only people that know my ip can access the server....but is there a way for anyone else to get that info?

    and lastly system specs......i have :

    P3 600mhz

    128mb

    DSL down 1.1Mb/s up 128kb/s i think

    is this system decent enough for acting as a server.

  3. i was born a lefty....but my parents forced me to use my right hand when i was younger :x ....now i mostly use my right hand but my handwriting is horrible and my parents always get mad when ever they see my dirty writing.....but i just tell em its their fault :D

    also i never noticed until my cuz told me that i drive with my left hand

    i guess eventhough i was made to conform....im a lefty at heart 8)

  4. i recently found out that new parents only pass out ladoo if they have a son. :shock: :x :? Thats absurd like others have said before any child is a gift from God and should be treated the same regardless of gender. But this practice has been going on for so long......personally i'd like to change that. If i have kids it'll be ladoooooos for all :D no matter what.

    But on the other hand i can see why it happens. Our culture is very family oriented and our parents expect us to take care of them when we're older. The thing with daughters is that they will get married and leave the parents. The parents then have no one to take care of them.

    thas my thoughts....sorry if i've haven't explained myself fully.

  5. I find that the best Webbrowser Avilable is "OPERA 7" from opera.com

    i use opera too....and it's great at blocking popups/unders

    the only reason i didn't mention it b4 is because the original poster said that she wasn't too technical and opera isn't for beginners.

  6. no u shouldn't eat foods with gelatin if ur an amritdhari.

    like sb said gum doesn't contain gelatin

    but they're are many candies that do...like skittles, now & laters...u jus have to check

    best thing is to jus eat roti and sabji

    still gotta check there...

    i usually dont go grocery shopping wit my parents but i went a while back and was shocked to see that even gobi has animal products in it. It is coated with animal fats (or something like that i dont remember exactly wut the sign said).

  7. i will probably face the same situatuon in a few years neo singh

    many girls raised in the west dont want a turbaned mate

    which is pretty sad because it also suggests that their children will most likely not be sardars either. :(

    But all is not lost because since you and I have not abandoned sikhi while living in the western world. i'm pretty sure there are females who have done the same thing.

    Also I'd very much doubt that anybody would find a decent mate online.
